Idea: Original dark version of Batman '89?
Time

slightly off topic but still on the same subject matter

I remember the VHS version of Nightmare on Elm Street 2 being a lot darker than the DVD and BD versions to the point where you could never really see Freddy's face properly. certainly gave it a more sinister atmosphere

also the music during the credits were different. I don't think the song that was used the DVD/BD version was originally licensed for the first home video versions so it was replaced with a suite from Christopher Young's score

DTS audio preservation .... UPDATE 07 May 2015 ... Work In Progress
Time

I managed to homebrew a BD-25 of the HD-DVD video with the Blu-ray DTS-MA (just to get the original on screen captions) over the weekend until this project comes to fruitition

I also managed to snag from rutracker, the 2 disc complete score and an interesting little oddity called 'Jerry Goldmsith's missing score'

not sure if anyone can add to that, i wasn't aware an alternate score existed?

Info: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly - 4k nightmare
Time

The mixture works quite well with samples 1 and 3 but not with 2. That blue tint (or shall i say overcoat) looks too much IMHO

Haven't seen the disc in motion though but from what i've seen from the screencaps, the yellow tint does add a bit of vintage look to the landscape shots that look ok to me like the final duel at the end (that's just my opinion of course) but like with sample 3, the yellow does make the blue sky look more Turquoise

I think it would have to be a mixture of both 50/50 and Mondo regrading depending on what scene

List of Blu-ray with altered aspect ratios
Time

what would be nice would be to see a collection of James Cameron films utilizing their altered Home Video AR as they were shot with super35 and have a lot of picture info when opened up

The Abyss US LD (1.90:1)

Terminator 2 (1.33:1)

True Lies (1.33:1)

Avatar (would love to see the 2.40:1 Ratio that I saw at the cinema)

Not sure about Titanic though as that was both ratios for the 3D Blu-ray

For anyone coming to this thread and looking for info on getting this....it has disappeared from MySpleen. I originally uploaded it and it doesn't even show in my history. I have no idea what happened and I can't get a reply back from the admins on what happened. Sorry.

Waterworld [spoRv] (Released)

not sure if it's my PC monitor or not but it looks a tad more green than blue in all honesty

i've only just hopped onto thsi thread so will need to look at all the other comparison shots :)

 

**edit**

just checked them, certainly looks better without the DVD inspiried red / pink tint. this is one of those problematic HD transfers though sadly so any work done on it is appreciated i can assure you :)
